Writing in the PinkNews online newspaper, the British prime minister said that, although equal marriage rights were a matter for the devolved government in Northern Ireland, she would continue to speak out for equality

“I want all British citizens to enjoy the fullest freedoms and protections. That includes equal marriage – because marriage should be for everyone, regardless of their sexuality,” she wrote.
